What we're trying to do is replace cable TV with net TV. So I'm curious of your experience of the following:

1) Netflix
2) Hulu
3) Youtube
4) Vimeo

It looks like this is what we'd be watching on Apple TV.

I know this is a very subjective question, but anyway....

Could you entertain yourself about 2 hours a day using only those four video sources?

Thanks again!

Yes. Netflix -> lots of movies (albeit older ones generally speaking) + a lot of seasons of various tv shows (this part is really nice). Hulu is great for current shows on ABC, NBC, and FOX as well as many seasons of older shows (like Netflix). Vimeo I've never used. I have an account to upload my personal videos to, but I just haven't played with it much. Youtube is Youtube, I don't think it needs much introduction. I rarely use it to be honest, because Youtube is generally best for 2-10 minute videos which isn't really want I want to watch when I sit down in front of my TV.

Also consider getting a nice antenna and you can pull down your locals and watch them in real time. Biggest loss for me since cutting the cord, is sports (especially college football) since it is shown mostly on ESPN and Fox Sports.

We cut our cable with AppleTV last fall and have been happy since. We catch our regular shows on Hulu or the network's website with a laptop hooked up via HDMI if it's not available on Hulu. I find that we have been expanding our interests and watching shows that we wouldn't have otherwise and since all previous episodes are available on either Netflix or Hulu, there is not restrictions on when we have to watch them.

Rarely do we use YouTube or Vimeo, but we manage with Hulu/Netflix for the better part of an afterwork evening to bedtime. We have a toddler too and the children's selection between the two services is ridiculous—a lifesaver.

Netflix and Hulu+ both offer trial periods in which you could watch TV or movies on your computer or tablet/phone. That way you can see what content each provider offers and determine whether or not it suits your needs before buying the Apple TV.

You could entertain yourself for a whole lot longer than two hours a day with just those. My Netflix queue is in the triple digits. Living abroad, the only way to get access to western TV without pirating is through Netflix and Hulu Plus and I can get most shows through that, either as soon as they've aired with HP or once they're out on DVD with Netflix.

Vimeo and YouTube I never use, but my girlfriend can watch YouTube all day long. Don't know how she does it.
